Therapies and procedures performed for the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors prohibition

Minnesota Senate Bill 744 prohibits licensed health care providers from performing or assisting with surgical procedures that alter sexual characteristics or prescribing puberty-blocking hormones or hormone antagonist therapies for minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The bill directly affects minors seeking gender-affirming medical care and their healthcare providers in Minnesota. It includes a temporary exception allowing existing prescriptions for minors already receiving puberty-blocking treatments before the law takes effect. The legislation aims to ban specific medical interventions for minors with gender dysphoria, effective upon final enactment.
